Hold the Line, Luna
The night of the Blood Moon Hunt, our pack was ambushed.
We were being slaughtered. Yet my mate, Alpha Ridley, chose to save his first love, Yolia, without a second thought.
He told me to stay behind and hold the line, claiming it was my duty as Luna.
He claimed his precious Yolia was a vital warrior who needed to be protected.
Even my own son, Leo, stood by Yolia's side to defend her.
I was captured by the rival pack, tortured with a silver dagger until I was on the brink of death.
Just as I was about to give up, a voice echoed in my mind.
"The blood of the Luna Prime flows through your veins. You have three days. Let your life end before the eyes of your fated mate, or the one you love most, and you will be reborn."
A power surged inside me, calling to me.
I ran toward that glorious death, embracing it.
But as I drew my last breath, I saw Ridley and our son, Leo, fall to their knees, howling my name, begging for a return I would never grant them.
